Can we talk about MNSN, and the community/support/chat etc?

This thread may not be a good idea. I am severely sleep deprived (ds has decided yet again that sleep is for the weak, and I have had about 4 hours sleep since Sunday), and had the morning from hell getting dd2 off on a school trip - change of routine, needed ot wear tracksuit not uniform, different drop off/pick up - you all know the score. If you all think it is a bad idea, please feel free to report and have it deleted.

Anyway.

Can we have a thread where we try to sort out some of the perceived isues with MNSN?

I keep seeing, on the main boards, posts saying that MNSN is not suportive. That some faces don't fit. That it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Fine. I get that not everybody is the same, and may not want the same things form this board as me, or other posters. But it isn't really said here, and so we don't reallt get right of reply.

It's a bit like talking about us behind our backs.

I know there have ben disagreements and differences over the years. I have been part of some of them, but on the whole I thought we muddled through quite well - expcially given that we are all under a reasonable amount of stress most of the time, and that we all face fairly different challenges on a daily basis.

So - what do people want form MNSN? Is there anything we (as a community) can do to welcome people who feel left out? Anythign we can do to help posters who lurk rather than post?

I am rather hoping htis might be a moving forward discussion, rather than a re-hash of any he said/she said grievances. BUt as I said earlier, maybe this is entirely misguided. Sorry if it is.

How do you nuke it?

DS2 has his sweet and sour sauce on chips.

He'd have everything with chips, if he could. We mix it up a bit. Some days he has oven chips, others he has ones that I've made in the actifry. I've been expanding his tastes in brown potato based stuff :o

Mmm, a good one I like is chips, fried onions, bolognese sauce & cheese.

Galena · 07/03/2013 22:19

Not north of Watford, no. If they were yummy Belgian frites, rather than manky UK chips, I would simply add a little mayo.

All eaten now anyway... Grin

coff33pot · 07/03/2013 22:23

I like chips with muligatawny soup poured over them yummmmmmmmm

It was a pregnancy thing along with pickled onion sarnis Grin

WilsonFrickett · 07/03/2013 22:24
